Cayden has been rather busy playing the role as an attentive brother to Ashton! On Saturday, after multiple requests, he was finally allowed to carry Ashton. The request was carried out in the safest environment we could find at home. :) Papa YT was behind Cayden and they were both sitting on a mattress laid on the floor. There were pillows, cushions and blankets around them anyway... Cayden did the most extraordinary thing - funny face throughout the few minutes he was holding onto Ashton. He is actually quite a monkey... an adorable one!!!

Apart from holding Ashton, Cayden offered his service to Mama Irene when it was time to feed Ashton. He held onto the bottle while baby was being transferred into Mummy's arms. He acted according to all instructions given and took tissue as a bib for his brother. I was told that when he returned from school on Friday, he rushed into the room and greeted his brother. Cayden told his brother he is back home. *SWEET*

There would never be a dull moment with Cayden around even though there is a newborn at home. Despite reminders to keep quiet, Cayden was unable to settle down. It did seem that he is very happy and excited with all people at home and a new brother to love. So he tried to be funny by wearing his pj on his head. We thought he looked like a nun.... Hahaha!

The Routine

Reality finally sank in with Ashton's arrival back home. Grandma, Mama Irene and Papa YT has been busy with the frequent feeds Ashton needed anytime throughout the day and into the nights.

Belching a new born is such a funny scene to watch! I am already imagining how people will be laughing at this photo if Ashton were to put it up on his Wedding day at the dinner reception. He will hate me for snapping this. :)

We are hoping that Ashton's umbilica cord will drop off soon now that his poo has finally turned normal brown color on Saturday. It's really funny to see another baby Cayden at home. We've been discussing how Ashton looks like Cayden from certain or rather most angles. We are all just so glad to be seeing Ashton sleeping peacefully like an angel and smiling in his sleep each time after his feed. :) LOVELY!

The Day Ashton Went Home...

Ashton was given the permission to go back home last Friday. :) He went home in that orange romper Cayden picked for him. I could not resist taking a photo with him on Friday night! I like this picture of me with little Ashton.

Aunty Yangming took a photo with Ash too! Nice photo!!!

Proudly Presenting....

ASHTON KOH!

Yup! Cayden is promoted to Older Brother officially on Tuesday 11 May 2010! To add onto the joy of receiving a little brother, Cayden received a greeting pressie from little Ashton! He loves both the kiddo and pressie!

Initially he seems to detest the idea of another kid being identified as baby... but when he met Ashton in person, all our worries were confirmed unfound. On Tuesday evening, the entire entourage village paid a visit to Mama Irene and Baby Ashton at Mt. Alvernia. :)

It's rather surprising that Cayden holds the following expressions whenever we plans visit to the hospital in the last two days. I swear he really gives that look whenever he talks about visiting Ashton. LOVELY! :) Seems that he likes the new baby that he even asked his dad to bring another baby into the room from the nursery ward. :) He even raised his own hands out to try carrying Ashton but was politely declined... Oops... when he is older then you will get your chance Cayden!

He did not decline any of our requests to take picture with his little brother.

So Cayden gave Ashton a peck on his face! Too fast, my camera didn't capture that moment!

We make a trip to Mt. Alvernia this evening again. :) Ashton wasn't at the ward his mum is resting in. So he requested us to bring him to the nursery ward where the other babies were staying with Ashton. :)

Hey Ashton!!! Hope to bring you back home soon!

Oh! Ashton friends are a pair of twins. :) They are occupying the first two beds from the left. Ashton is sleeping in the bed 3rd from the left. :)

How could Uncle Sam and I miss that opportunity in taking picture with little Ashton??
